I tested Aldi's viral fish wine and it's all I want to drink
It became an instant cult favourite among shoppers and experts alike, with the white wine being described as "absolutely gorgeous". Wine connoisseurs Tom Gilbey and The Wine Wally (Liam D'Arcy) took to social media upon its release last year to share their thoughts on the 'fish wine'. Tom Gilbey said: "If you want peaches, nectarines and white flowers, you can get them for well under ten quid.' While The Wine Wally added: "If you like really crisp, refreshing white wines, this is the one, I'm telling you.' Shoppers also praised Aldi's Baron Amarillo Rías Baixas Albariño, with this person commenting: 'It's absolutely gorgeous. One of the nicest wines I've had in a long time!' The Aldi wine gets its 'fishy' name due to the fact that there is a fish on the bottle, and it pairs well with seafood. Upon its return last week (July 14), I decided to give Aldi's viral 'fish wine' a try to see if it lives up to the hype. My take on Aldi's 'fish wine' - does it live up to the hype? I can confirm, Aldi's Baron Amarillo Rías Baixas Albariño (£8.99) most certainly does live up to the high praise heaped on it. Aldi's viral 'fish wine' definitely lives up to the hype. (Image: Patrick Glover) I am not a white wine drinker at all, but I found myself going back for a second and a third glass in quick succession. My wife, who is a white drinker, tried the wine with me, and between us, we polished the bottle off within a few hours over tea. Aldi's 'fish wine' had a lovely fruity taste to it, making it extremely moreish and drinkable. The bottle says it is a dry wine, but we found it to be sweet, offering a lovely, refreshing finish. To the nose, it gives off a clean, crisp aroma. RECOMMENDED READING: Aldi's Baron Amarillo Rías Baixas Albariño is available now at Aldi stores across the UK for £8.99, and is worth every penny. I can see why it has received such rave reviews and sold out so quickly upon its initial release last year. So do yourself a favour, next time you are in Aldi, grab a bottle of Baron Amarillo Rías Baixas Albariño, you won't be disappointed.

Aldi brings back its cult 'fish wine'
Crisp, zesty and best paired with seafood, it went viral last year and sold out quickly, so buyers are predicting it's likely to fly off shelves again. Known among some fans as the 'Fish Wine' thanks to its pairing with seafood, this crisp and clean white wine became a hit when it first launched. What is fish wine? The Specially Selected Rías Baixas Albariño is made in Spain's renowned Rías Baixas region, celebrated for producing some of the world's finest Albariños. With its zesty citrus notes, subtle minerality and refreshing finish, this wine is best paired with a seafood feast. Wine bloggers @tomgilbeywine (658k followers) and @thewinewally (120k followers) took to social media to share their thoughts on the wine. TomGilbeyWine said: 'If you want peaches, nectarines and white flowers, you can get them for well under ten quid.' Meanwhile, TheWineWally said: 'If you like really crisp, refreshing white wines, this is the one, I'm telling you.' It follows the success of Le Petit Poulet Rosé (£6.49) – a Provence-style rosé offering a purse-friendly alternative to La Vieille Ferme, also known as 'Chicken Wine'. (Image: Aldi) Recommended reading: This delicately pale rosé bursts with citrus and red berry notes, delivering all the flavours of Provence without the hefty price tag. At 24% cheaper than La Vieille Ferme Rosé, it has been praised by those looking to create the perfect aperitif moment while soaking up the sun. Also this week, Aldi is dropping the price of its Aperini Aperitivo Spritz (its take on the classic Italian spritz) from £3.99 to £3.49 – designed for summer sipping on a budget.
